Clay clay clay, things are just not moving fast enough as I can’t dry out the clay which I make and I then can’t dry out my work in my ‘summer house’ studio – I’ve been driving heavy stuff to Crescent Arts to dry it out on their storage heaters! How I’m ever going to get enough work together at this rate I don’t know… I have to sort out some sort of heating system and soon!
Looking at the past serves to inform the future.
Points of reflection come when things change providing frames of reference.
The divisions, layers, cracks, joints and lines are symbols of change, ‘landmarks’ for evolution.
We need those boundaries and boarders, intersections and connection points, where times change and sections separate in order to evaluate beginnings and endings.
Really looking forward to North Yorkshire Open Studios as the first time anyone will be able to see the new work in action!
